Arnaud Natal

Welcome to my page!

I am an economist affiliated with the Economics department of the University of Bordeaux in France and the French Institute of Pondicherry in India.

I obtained my PhD in economics from the University of Bordeaux in December 2023. My main field of interest is development economics, and I work on topics related to household indebtedness, labour, and cognition in rural South India. My PhD dissertation is freely available on HAL.

I take part in the activities of the Observatory of Rural Dynamics and Inequalities in South India (ODRIIS), in particular by actively participating in all stages of the collection of longitudinal NEEMSIS household data. I was also in charge of the scientific activities of ODRIIS during my VIA in India (organisation of a conference and seminars, management of the website, management of the HAL collection).
